Navy Pier, Chicago’s iconic lakefront destination, is thrilled to partner again with EXPO CHICAGO, the International Exposition of Modern & Contemporary Art (September 19 – 22, 2019), to present a free, temporary public art installation at the City Stage lawn in Polk Bros Park. From Tuesday, September 17 through Sunday, October 6, guests will have the opportunity to view and interact with “The Ship of Tolerance,” a dual art installation and vessel presented by The Ilya & Emilia Kabakov Foundation. The mission of “The Ship of Tolerance” is to educate and connect youth of different continents, cultures and identities through the language of art. Originally built in Siwa, Egypt in 2005 to engage children and young adults in an active discussion surrounding tolerance, participants were exposed to different cultures and ideas while creating astonishing works of art. “The Ship of Tolerance” is part of Navy Pier’s ongoing commitment to offer guests free, one-of-a-kind arts and cultural programming, designed to inspire, educate and connect communities across the city and globe.
